Protein sorting by high-performance liquid chromatography. I. Biomimetic interaction chromatography of recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I on polyionic stationary phases.
Journal of Chromatography 1993 March 27
Chromatographic separations can be tailored to exploit specific interactions between a stationary phase ligand and a protein structural feature of interest. Variations in this feature then form the basis for sorting a mixture of closely related proteins into defined subpopulations. This report describes the sorting of variants of recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) that differ in the occurrence of deamidation at a single residue. rhDNase, an enzyme that non-specifically hydrolyzes DNA, is glycosylated and exhibits considerable charge heterogeneity owing to the sialylation and phosphorylation of its N-linked oligosaccharides. This heterogeneity obscures the relatively subtle differences between deamidated and intact rhDNase, preventing separation on this basis in conventional ion-exchange HPLC. Published structural information on bovine DNase reveals that the analogous labile asparagine residue is involved in DNA binding, so stationary phases containing polyanionic ligands mimicking nucleic acids were employed to separate the deamidation variants of rhDNase. Electrostatically immobilized DNA, a "tentacle" cation exchanger (TCX) and immobilized heparin columns all resolved the deamidated and intact forms of rhDNase when operated at pH 4.5. The ligands of the TCX and heparin columns are sufficiently long, flexible and polyanionic to interact with rhDNase in a manner similar to DNA and to sort rhDNase variants on the basis of the charge difference of a single residue involved in that interaction. A non-hydrolyzable double-stranded oligonucleotide analogue of DNA was also synthesized and immobilized to an HPLC support. This column, operated at pH 6, where rhDNase is active, resolved the two isomeric products of deamidation of rhDNase, i.e., variants of the enzyme containing either aspartate or isoaspartate in lieu of asparagine at the deamidation site in rhDNase. This is the first reported separation of intact variants of a glycoprotein differing on the basis of these isomeric products of deamidation through the common cyclic imide mechanism.
